From the techdiver koans:

  The story is told that one fine day, the Master, Bill Hogarth Main
  himself, went to go try out a new variation on his system.  He
  encountered some novices at the divesite, who, not recognising him,
  said "We are diving the Hogarthian System and you are not.  Therefore
  you are a Stroke." 

  On that day, who was Hogarthian?

A well-thought-through system transcends rigid adherance to a set formula.
Don't muck with the system until you fully understand it.

And BTW, lose that Dive-Rite MLS.  I have twice the amp-hours and a third
as many O-rings in a light that cost me half as much.  And it fits on my
belt properly.
